    The Hampsher Hotel is a historic railroad hotel that used to be the hub of two busy railroads. These days it is a quiet, relaxing building where you will be treated like family. The small town will charm with its local antique shops and restaurants that offer up genuine wares and food. Only 2 hours south of Chicago, it feels like a lifetime away! Come enjoy a journey back to the past where life was slower-paced and there was time to actually enjoy the front porch rocker.
